Energy Management

Veolia Energy Solutions provides exclusive expertise enabling companies and municipalities to optimize the technical, economic and environmental performance of facilities such as buildings and heating or cooling networks.
Working in close cooperation with our customers, Veolia plays an essential role in controlling energy demand and reducing greenhouse-gas emission. This unique role as an urban energy optimizer is reflected in two major activities: District Cooling Solutions for Sustainable Cities and Energy Solutions for Industries.

Our joint venture MAF Dalkia together with Majid Al Futtaim is the leader in energy and multi-technical services, delivering comprehensive services to its clients. MAF Dalkia employs over 2,000 highly trained and multi-skilled employees serving a wide portfolio of clients in the residential, commercial, industrial and healthcare sectors.

Energy-efficient Buildings

Buildings of all kinds are major consumers of energy in the form of heating, cooling, lighting and hot water. Veolia Energy Solutions develops energy services that enable building owners to reconcile occupant comfort with energy and environmental performance.

Managing buildings for optimal performance and image
Hospitals, office buildings, data centers, shopping malls and residential complexes are all becoming more complex and now require the expertise of an energy professional to optimize operation and control consumption levels. Those in charge of managing buildings are faced with rising energy prices and increasingly stringent environmental regulations; they also have to ensure that buildings are in keeping with the environmental commitments made by the owner and expected by building users. Veolia Energy Solutions meets these requirements through a strong commitment to results.

Methodology, technical excellence and innovation
At each site, Veolia Energy Solutions carries out an energy audit and draws up and implements an improvement plan, including factors such as work on buildings, upgrades for energy facilities, monitoring tools and systems to encourage occupants to save energy. Technicians regulate, run and maintain the facilities to attain optimal performance. They are backed by the expertise of specialists, channeled through the new energy performance control centers that Veolia Energy Solutions is developing in each region.

Local presence, expertise and commitment
Our clients benefit from the skills of its technical specialists and its unparalleled experience in managing a wide variety of buildings around the world. Its list of references speaks for itself. In Canada, the CHUM Collectif consortium, in which Veolia Energy Solutions has a 20% interest, is building the new University of Montreal Hospital Center (CHUM), the biggest in North America. It also helped design the center and will manage technical and energy operations.

District Cooling Services

A District Cooling System ("DCS") produces chilled water within a centralized energy plant and distributes it through underground pipes to buildings connected to the system and provides them with air-conditioning. Therefore, individual buildings do not need split systems, chillers and/or cooling towers.
Once used in customer buildings, the water is returned to the central plant to be chilled again and then re-circulated through the closed-loop piping system.

A DCS consists of three primary components: the centralized energy plant, the distribution network and the Energy Transfer Station ("ETS"), which comprises heat exchangers between the primary (DCS side) and secondary networks (buidling side).

What are the benefits of a DCS?
There are technical, commercial and environmental benefits by using a DCS compared to a decentralized cooling system:

Overall, the implementation of a DCS scheme benefits to end-users, governments, master developers, real-estate developers and the community as a whole.

Why Veolia Energy Solutions?
We understand that master developers and cities are strongly committed to end-user satisfaction and the protection of the environment as well; more than ever, they also need to control their costs and reduce their risk, while guaranteeing realiability and creating a safe environment.
